Jacques Rougeau talks Hulk Hogan putting him over:


"This is my show, I paid for the Molson Center, this was not WCW. This show cost me $225,000. Hulk probably had some differences with him [Eric Bischoff] to accept to come wrestle me here. The biggest moment for me was, we were in the dressing room and Hulk turns to me and says, 'OK Jacques, what are we doing tonight.' And I started laughing so much, like I'm the boss, it's so funny. Then he looks at me and I say, 'Hulk, what are we doing tonight?' And he said, 'brother, it's your show, you call the shots.' Then I started laughing again and he said, 'I'm serious brother. How are we doing this, what are we doing?'. I said, 'OK, you wanna know how I'm going to beat you?'. Everybody's laughing, and then he says, 'no, I'm serious brother, I'm putting you over tonight. I want you to go over.'"


Chris Jericho:


During the first epispde of his podcast Chris Jericho and his guest Stone Cold Steve Austin shared some Undertaker stories. Jericho recalled spending 3 hours badgering Taker to let him kiss him on the lips in a bar in Tokyo before the dead man relented and allowed him to kiss him, on the cheek. Austin revealed Undertaker had final say on T-Shirt designs during their WWE run, but Taker always gave his approval even when Austin started adding skulls, which Taker apparently wanted to keep personal to him for his gimmick.

AJ Lee heat:


AJ Lee is to be disciplined by WWE for an outburst backstage at Tribute To The Troops. TV personality Michelle Beadle was a guest of WWE at the event and was in conversation with CM Punk as AJ returned to the back following her match, seeing the two talking AJ launched into a expletive laced tirade against the star, leaving WWE execs embarrassed and angry.

Michelle Beadle tweeted of the incident...

"Lost another friend to CGFN....crazy girlfriend neutering. It's real people. Check your buddies. Affects everyone."

CM Punk also tweeted, and seems to disagree with WWE's handling of the situation...

''It's difficult to always try to do business the proper way with a company that refuses to practice the same standards."

Expect AJ to lose the Diva's title tonight, as WWE feel she did not represent the company as a champion should.

The TV hostess is unfortunately getting some abuse on Twitter from AJ fans, responding to one...

"Hon...it was done in front of company people. I didn't say a word. I thought it was a joke."
